Piano and Guitar Instruction

Music instruction provides measurable, life-altering benefits to children and adults. It also adds beauty, delight, and depth to our lives.

I teach private piano and guitar from my home studio in Dacula, both to children and adults. Fees start at $85 per month.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Northern Illinois University and have been teaching and performing for the past 25 years.

Federated Festival: February 21

Well done Festival participants. Once again, my students have done an outstanding job in preparing for and participating in the Federated Festival. Out of 17 entries, 14 received a Superior rating, and 3 received an Excellent, with one, third year participant receiving a trophy. A special thanks to the guitar participants as our studio got things moving in guitar for our county. In a report from our Festival chair, several of the judges commented on how well our Gwinnett County students are prepared. I am very proud of all my students, and greatly appreciative of the support and enthusiasm of all the parents. Great job, everyone!
